My chiropractor uses those techniques on me, including the tools. It is painful and I bruise afterwards, but the relief I feel from chronic stiffness and knots is immediate and drastic. It's worth suffering through the treatment for the greatly increased mobility and relief I feel afterwards.
I can't wait for have mine. I am also suffering from stiff neck almost 8 years now. And now I feel small knots because of stiffness. I had first massage yesterday. They open my muscles without using any oil. They decided to give me Gua Shah in my next appointment. I hope it work for me as well. I am fed up with this stiffness
Your coloration shouldn't bruise though. This is more petichiae, and goes away after a few days with no soreness upon palpation. If you are bruised from this and notice pain when you press on the red areas your practioner may not have done it properly.
I would gladly let you practice on me : ). I've had chronic neck pain since a car accident 27 years ago. I hope and pray I can find someone near me that uses these techniques!
I'm going to try this for my forward head posture, planning on doing daily on the back of my neck and front of the neck to see if it helps keep my neck more mobile to keep aligned. Thanks!!
After weeks of battling with a stiff neck that would not ease despite visits to chiropractor and general massage, I happened upon your video. I have to admit I was skeptical given the various therapies I had pursued. However, since my wife had purchased a Gua Sha stone and I was desperate for relief I figured why not. All I can say is THANK YOU! I finally found relief after just 10min of Gua Sha and it was clear I had a chromic condition since things lit up and there was allot of petechiae. Needless to say I am now a firm believer in the need for such massage therapy.
So interesting! My friend's mom is Chinese, my friend grew up with Gua Sha whenever she was sick. Her mom is very into traditional Chinese medicine and I always found it fascinating
If you are in the United States and you happen to need a IASTM guasha tool, I can provide you with one for free,just contact me ,here is my email hypertoughness@outlook.com.
tried Electric Neck massager? It's painless and It's pretty good actually. It helps a lot. Plus it's portable. Leaving the link if it helps anyone. www.myneckrelaxer.com
I have stiff neck due to stress and anxiety. I have bought Gua Sha today to give it a try, and omg, even after one night session of Gua Sha massage I feel such a relief in my neck area. Before I only used my hands when massaging my neck, but it didn't work as well as this. I'm honestly astonished. And super happy! To anyone dealing with a stiff neck - you should definitely try this.
Me too! I've had chronic neck pain for years from a car accident. Watching this was like oh how I need this!! But now to find someone near where I live hmmmm??
I use graston tools/therapy and am interested in expanding my "toolbox" utilizing Gua Sha stone/techniques. I viewed your neck techniques, nice! look forward to viewing more! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Hi Wendy - When you say you do graston, do you do it as a practitioner? Or you get it done yourself? I love Gua sha when it comes to learning the benefits for health! That part couldn't be more important. I actually use my steel tools as in place of the stone tools because I get better results with it. You will have to let me know if you add Gua sha in!
I am a MT as well. I believe this is called the Graston modality? A similar tool (the metal tool) that you are using is used by PT's on my patients. I am planning on taking the Graston technique CE. Thx for sharing!
That's next on my agenda too Jeanie. I've had a lot of Graston done, and honestly I was taught a lot of these styles with graston. It will be a great modality to learn! good luck.😀
I have chronic neck pain and today it’s really bad so I tried this and those red spots u were taking about - the part of my neck i did is COVERED in it. When will it go away?
hi i'm in china right now and went to do some guasha. For more than 10 years one side of my neck is way bigger than the other maybe because i use to play computer games like 16-18 hours a day lol. And yes i checked at doctor to see what was wrong, they scsnned the area and said nothing is worng, just like that, but the funny thing is when i was kid didn't have it. anyway went fro guasha, and the person scraped both side initially and found big knots on both side of the neck. but she did the not that bigger side more and said that its that side thats causing the other side to be bigger because it restricts blood flow. What do you think about what she said? also that side that she did felt a lot better after and a little more range of motion. She said she will do the other side next week when i come in. she also said because i had this for a some years, will take quite a bit of session to fix it. any advise?
Gua Sha or “刮痧” is an ancient Chinese TCM (traditional Chinese medicine)technique. The traditional tools are derived from animal bone (polished). Go to any reputable TCM clinic, not the dodgy types please 😊
Question , I’m new to your chanel, would this work for a person who has herniated disc‘s along with stenosis and a arthritic neck I’m always I. Discomfort ,
I don’t know if it’s correlated or not but ever since I did this I’ve had severe neck pain, so I don’t know if that was really hard right down my neck and spine
how do i find someone who does this massage near where i live? I am near Allentown, PA. my neck is pretty tight and my masseuse does not use this technique.
I have Paget’s disease of the bone, a meningioma tumor that was removed off of T-7, right shoulder necrosis (as well as bilateral hip necrosis that were replaced) & one wicked case of fibro & chronic pain. Most of the real bad pain is in the upper back just above the surgery scar, the shoulder & neck/back of the head. It’s so bad I’m home bound all the time & can’t function anymore. I’d just cry my eyeballs out if I could hire someone to come to my house to do something like this on me to see if I can get just an ounce of relief
Hello Ty! Huge fan of yours already in the dances, now here! ;) I have Chronic neck pain, I bought gua sha and have some questions. Can I do it on myself or it needs to be the pressure of someone else on me? The movement is back and forward or only at one direction?For how long should I do and how often? Thanksss xoxo
Lara Mel Vasconcellos ya I always wonder what people think when they see the completely different sides of my personality. 😉 slightly fun crazy, and super zen.😂 I’m sorry about your chronic pain. Seriously- no one understands how debilitating it can be. It is soo good for neck pain. I saw your other comment so I’ll address it here too. So you have tried it, and I’m not quite catching what parts you are having problems with? So you slept better right? You have released a bunch of metabolic waste into your system to clear, and sometimes that can be tiring for those of us with chronic pain. So yes that is normal. You don’t even have to do it very hard to have that side effect. Did it help your pain?
Rebecca S the ones I used to link to aren’t sold anymore. We do sell some out of my massage studio but I only have one left. If you are interested in it it’s $89 - you can email me at zionsedgemassage @gmail.com and I can send you more info and pics
Keri Meyer I apologize that I missed this comment. I was lucky enough to have it as part of my general massage therapy education. I am unsure of other trainings to recommend.

I don't have any source, but based on my experience, it's true for my sternocleidomastoid muscle when gua sha is done on it. The middle always hurts the most.
So I’m having a lot of neck and shoulder pain just like this lady in the video and I called a practitioner today to have the gua sha massage and she does not recommend me having it. She said that Americans cannot handle the pain, that she only does it for Asian clients. She herself is Asian. I’m confused. And looking at multiple videos I think this would benefit me a lot and I’m wondering why she will not do it. Instead, she recommended a traditional massage and cupping.
Hi Daniel - It's not really redness that hurts - It's fascial adhesions, or areas that are stuck. You can have redness and no pain. It hurts worse in areas with more fat as well, like the legs.
My chiropractor uses those techniques on me, including the tools. It is painful and I bruise afterwards, but the relief I feel from chronic stiffness and knots is immediate and drastic. It's worth suffering through the treatment for the greatly increased mobility and relief I feel afterwards.

That’s Graston
@@schittscrack not necessarily. I'm a GT provider and the amount of pressure applied with Graston is lesser than gua Sha
I would love to give that massage to all needy people free of cost..a lot of people in the world needs this...
I love this comment. Yes they do.

My neck stiffness was relieved almost immediately. A few more sessions with some stretching could relieve my chronic neck pain.
Cherie Santiago yes let’s keep working on it!
Did it?
@@TheMcDeal yes as long as you keep up with stretches. release techniques
So interesting! My friend's mom is Chinese, my friend grew up with Gua Sha whenever she was sick. Her mom is very into traditional Chinese medicine and I always found it fascinating
S Perry absolutely! Love the immune system boost. I use it on my own kids too
Yes. It is what they`ve used for thousands of years. I love it, and any other massage can not help with my neck pain.
Oh my God I need this. My neck has been stiff and painful on/off for years. This will help a lot.

You can get gua sha tools at Marshalls for your body and face in the beauty section
Looks so satisfying I need this so bad. I am a massage therapist myself and I haven’t been taking care of myself. My body is angry with me
Essayer le shiatsu , vous verrez cela vaut un massage.

it's just a few clicks away
Tried it and it instantly gave a nice relief thank you
LadyKay yay! So glad.
This looks so satisfying. I will have to see if I can find someone to do this on me as it seems a bit difficult to do yourself.
I’m so jealous of your client 😩 Oh how I wish that was me. Looks like it feels wonderful
tecx37 😬😍.
Me too! I've had chronic neck pain for years from a car accident. Watching this was like oh how I need this!! But now to find someone near where I live hmmmm??
I find gua Sha relieved pain/stiffness faster than having a massage 😃🙌🏻
It is
Because it gets to the roots of the issues

Thank you for this video !! Grateful for all your help
I have ordered a book and the tools to do gua sha. How effective is it doing by myself? Any suggestions?

Awesome video! I tried this on myself and I feel so much better :)
Melissa Elle yay that’s awesome! So glad that it helped. Which tool did you use?
A blade similar to the one you used. Looks like a boomerang sort of
How do you do your own neck and do it strong enough?
Oh I could use this! My neck hurts constantly
I love gua sha on neck pain. Most effective body part for this technique. Great video and information.
Sophie Xie, DPTi totally agree!
Is it safe to use the tool over the carotid arteries and jugular veins??
I've been having stiff neck since last year now been going to my Chiropractor I definitely need this!
Missy E absolutely!
@@Zionsedgemassage if you were any closer near by I definitely stop by ...
Just watching this I feel my body relaxing lol
I have chronic neck pain and today it’s really bad so I tried this and those red spots u were taking about - the part of my neck i did is COVERED in it. When will it go away?
i haven't had a chance to get any massage or seriously long massage yet on my neck, back and shoulders
This you must do! You will never regret it (and let me know how it goes:)
hi i'm in china right now and went to do some guasha. For more than 10 years one side of my neck is way bigger than the other maybe because i use to play computer games like 16-18 hours a day lol. And yes i checked at doctor to see what was wrong, they scsnned the area and said nothing is worng, just like that, but the funny thing is when i was kid didn't have it.
anyway went fro guasha, and the person scraped both side initially and found big knots on both side of the neck. but she did the not that bigger side more and said that its that side thats causing the other side to be bigger because it restricts blood flow.
What do you think about what she said?
also that side that she did felt a lot better after and a little more range of motion.
She said she will do the other side next week when i come in.
she also said because i had this for a some years, will take quite a bit of session to fix it.
any advise?
great job!

This is an excellent production!! Extremely informative!
Bobby Toombs thank you so much!
THANK YOU!!!
I quite enjoyed your style of editing in this vid. Also very helpful! Hoping this will help me out..
Thank you Harley! What type of problems are you having.
just watching this felt relaxing
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video and presentation. Would love for you to do a CE class with certification.
my pt did this for me, just not as intense
need this now
Question , I’m new to your chanel, would this work for a person who has herniated disc‘s along with stenosis and a arthritic neck
I’m always I. Discomfort ,
It's a miracle treatment
What type of pressure are you using with the tools? Just the weight of the tool for the most part?
This looks amazing!
Ceyda Charming it is!
When you mention heat, could you use the tool on yourself in a sauna?
Is diagonal 45 degree. Also he do u mean u go back to the start
I’m definitely going to do this to my neck. I just need to find someone who can do my trapezius using gua sha.
Thanks
I don’t know if it’s correlated or not but ever since I did this I’ve had severe neck pain, so I don’t know if that was really hard right down my neck and spine
I have chronic neckpain and it's connected with shoulders and back. Should I try this massage therapy?
For sure! This is especially effective on chronic neck pain
Zions edge massage Thank you 🙏cant wait 😍
Is it possible to do this on yourself? Self massage with a Gua sha tool on the neck?
I need this! 😫
This looks amazing
Thank you! it is😍
Thank you for this, It was really helpful
Where are you? Really enjoyed your video. 👍🏼
She’s in southern Utah.
how do i find someone who does this massage near where i live? I am near Allentown, PA. my neck is pretty tight and my masseuse does not use this technique.
Dr. Carchedi
If you have sha, can you do gua sha the day after or do you have to wait until the sha/ redness/ purple and blue spots are gone?
Wait until its gone
Do you know of a Gua Sha practitioner in Los Angeles?
Where can someone get this done , or is this something we can do for ourselves , this is all new to me , thanks
Plz check "gua sha", i have been doing this all my life whenever I have pain on neck or back...
You can do it yourself or have someone do it for you. Make sure the area is well lubricated and your skin isn’t breaking.
How often can I do this??
I have Paget’s disease of the bone, a meningioma tumor that was removed off of T-7, right shoulder necrosis (as well as bilateral hip necrosis that were replaced) & one wicked case of fibro & chronic pain.

So sorry to hear your going through all of that feel better stay positive you will find relief 💜

My mum make me do this for her, but using oil and coin to scrape... its really exhausting for me to keep stroking to get her that release tension
Try using a bigger heavier tool. This one is Ty’s favorite. www.zionsedgemassage.com/shop
Love this video

What shape best for neck, back and shoulder pain?
What if the patient has neurodermatitis?
You have to try kerokan/coining. (Indonesian traditional teraphy) and It's look like gua sha
how often can you do these
😩😩 I need this. I wish you were in Virginia
I’ve been looking. The VA in Virginia does it for veterans.
@@stephanie1860 Thank you. I used to get it done at the VA years ago but it wasn't as deep as this but I guess it depends on the massage therapist.
Thank you so much
Very good 👍
Looks amazing.
Do you have any recommendations for anyone in your field in the SFV/LA area that can assist me with a bad neck?

How long does it take for the red marks to go away?
Hi! It can take anywhere from a couple hours to a week to disappear. (Some people with poor circulation may see marks stay longer as well).
i did to my traps muscles they were like a stone spent 3 hours massaging them
I am a massage therapist is ny and have been trying to find where I can do training for this modality. Do you have any idea where to look?
Keri Meyer I apologize that I missed this comment. I was lucky enough to have it as part of my general massage therapy education. I am unsure of other trainings to recommend.

Ooh that can be so aggravating. I get the same thing. Have you ever tried gua sha or do you get neck massages?
What about those with darker skin color?
None of these tools are posted. There's different ones you have listed.. 😢

This is my fav!
C1an I do this on myself? Of course not in the way you do it on your client, but is it possible at all to give yourself some relief?
Yes. She had some how to videos uploaded.
Is there a danger for carotid dissection doing this?
What’s the name of the scraping tool ?
Gua sha
She has one for sale that she helped design and comes with a program for treatment using it.
Cool!

The problem is almost always in the middle of the muscle, can i know your source for this?
I don't have any source, but based on my experience, it's true for my sternocleidomastoid muscle when gua sha is done on it. The middle always hurts the most.
when I am having neck ache that cause headache. Guasha is like magic
Yes! It’s so effective
I did it to my friend, he looks like a Titan now
He looks like Thanos??
So I’m having a lot of neck and shoulder pain just like this lady in the video and I called a practitioner today to have the gua sha massage and she does not recommend me having it. She said that Americans cannot handle the pain, that she only does it for Asian clients. She herself is Asian. I’m confused. And looking at multiple videos I think this would benefit me a lot and I’m wondering why she will not do it. Instead, she recommended a traditional massage and cupping.
I want this in India 😍😍
Why no recent uploads?
I’m just getting back into it!
Doesn't that redness hurt?
Hi Daniel - It's not really redness that hurts - It's fascial adhesions, or areas that are stuck. You can have redness and no pain. It hurts worse in areas with more fat as well, like the legs.
@@Zionsedgemassage Thanks. 😁
